    I vote for zburns999, also you're missing Verbolten on his park list.
  • djbrcace1234%s's Photo
    Three words--all terrain park. ;)/>/>

    I love coasters that use their natural surroundings to their advantage. :)/>
  • Twiggy%s's Photo
    Tough choice, but it had me the most excited if it was actually a real park.

    I vote for Maverix's park.

    Bravo, sir. :mantis:
  • Wanted%s's Photo
    Too early for me to decide. I'll analyze each park and look for the one I want to visit the MOST

    I might not win, but I LOVE my park <3
    Why I picked each coaster:

    Voyage: Gravity Group woodie. Ranked second in the world. It's as good as wooden coasters get. Halfway through its course, it actually seems to gain speed <3
    Voyage POV

    Balder: Intamin prefab woodie. Top 10 wooden coaster over the past 10 years. What's better than an Intamin prefab <3

    Griffon: GIANT B&M Dive Machine. I want to ride this so bad. Love those vertical drops <3

    Diamondback: B&M Hyper. Every park needs one hyper, and I got one with fairly unique trains <3

    Flight Deck: B&M Invert. My home park <3 Amazing ride with intense G's. I'll never forget you, Top Gun <3

    Xcelerator: Intamin Launced. Top hats are just too sexy. Way too sexy <3

    Vampire: Arrow Suspended. What's better than an Arrow Suspended coaster? An arrow suspended coaster where your feet dangle :D/> <3

    Giant Dipper: Church & Prior woodie. Ahhh the beach. 30 minutes from my house. My first coaster, oh how I love you so <3

    I accomplished what I wanted: 3 awesome woodies, 1 launch, 1 invert, 1 unique, 1 family, 1 hyper
  • FK+Coastermind%s's Photo
    I vote for zburns999

    was a close call between Airtime, Nin, and Zburns999 for me, but i think zburns really got the best mix of different types and would make a park crazy in ride-experience diversity.

    I'm having so much trouble choosing between Maverix and Airtime. I like Airtime's list 1-8 better, but I can't argue with a park that has Ravine Flyer II and Maverick--two of my all-time favorites.

    Just for that, I think I'm gonna have to cast my vote...

    I vote for Maverix' park
  • Airtime%s's Photo
    I'll have a look who to vote for but in the mean time, I guess this goes in here?




    This park is for enthusiasts. For people who love roller coasters. An overall lineup fitting every coaster type. It'll also fit a family with a few less intense but equally great coasters.


    Intimidator 305 -Huge, twists and forces. Intamin extreme craziness, What more do you want?

    GateKeeper -The largest inversion in the world! Tight keyhole inversions, stunning views, a brand new B&M Wingrider!

    Smiler - At 14 inversions this monster is unparallelled and nothing like this can be found anywhere else in the world.

    Cheetah Hunt - Speed, multi launches and landscape hugging!

    OzIris -The new Montu! Newer and smoother.

    White Lightning -Airtime everywhere.

    Lisebergbanan -Landscape hugging, swooping turns and SCHWARZ goodness.

    Shivering Timbers -King of the wooden hills.
  • Austin55%s's Photo
    Narrowed my favorites down to Louis, Pacificoaster, Cocoa, Airtime and Maverix.
    soo umm... I guess I'll just hang around and vote for whoever votes for me :p




    Nahh JK, I think Cocoa pulled of the best top 3, and the rest of his rides are great.

    I vote for Cocoa's park.
  • Louis!%s's Photo
    Why didn't you make this a poll btw. Cause like a poll would get a lot more votes.
  • AK Koaster%s's Photo
    Damn, a tough choice, but I'd have to say, from the enthusiast perspective, I'd have to go with I305 GateKeeper AND Smiler, along with some other very beautiful looking rides

    I vote for Airtime's park
  • Xcoaster%s's Photo
    I vote for zburns999's park. It has several excellent woodies and hyper-style steel coasters, plus what looks to be the best flying coaster, a great family coaster, the tallest coaster, and the coaster with the best view.

    How could I stop people from voting for themselves?
  • zburns999%s's Photo
    Honors system. If anybody cheats on a fantasy roller coaster draft, then...wow
  • Cocoa%s's Photo
    I gave each park a score out of 100 based on how much I wanted to go to it. (regardless of whether I've been on the rides already or not.)

    nin: 95
    airtime: 89
    steve: 93
    zburns: 96
    intamin: 94
    milo: 80
    djbrace: 88
    wanted: 93
    xcars:95
    austin55: 95
    ak coaster: 83
    maverix: 93
    maverick: 80
    louis: 85
    pacificoaster: 94
    wheres walto: 89

    so....

    zburns, you're my winner!
    your park has an amazing variety in ride type, probably the best hyper coaster in the world, amazing woodies, some great theming, and awesome terrain rides. but it was damn close!

    I was really sorry to give lower scores to parks with a lot more 'classic' rides, but they really don't excite me as much. I love actually visiting small, old fashioned parks but they don't stand out as much as the blockbusters unfortunately :p

    also, everyone should follow austin's lead and vote for me, my park is fucking great :)
  • ELVISthePELVIS%s's Photo
    I vote for Milo's park.

    screw "balance" and "variety." I love the wood coasters, and he has some of the best. steel be damned.
  • gir%s's Photo
    I vote nin.

    Becauase honestly, nothing mattered after the first pick. You had me at "El Toro."

    Okay but really, El Toro, Alpengeist, Manta, Primeval Whirl, what else could you want?
  • Version1%s's Photo
    I vote for zburns999's park

    I actually thought about voting for walto, who came out really strong with the last picks, but the GeForce wins it imo
  • Liampie%s's Photo
    No one picked Air or Nemesis? I'm not voting.
  • Louis!%s's Photo
